Driving home from work yesterday I thought that maybe today would be the day. But around 2 am I could hear the wind and the rain outside. The shutters were banging against the house and I was sure the rainwater was seeping into the basement.
When I woke up I took a ride down to the river. I knew things weren't good because when I opened my truck door it almost blew off the hinges. The wind was cranking northwest and the temperature had dropped from yesterday. even with the rain we had days ago the river is only running around 15,000 with temps just below 50. The thing is either way, the fish have to start to move.
I don't know why I tried but I threw a bunch of casts, with most of them sailing from right to left landing on the bank below me. It's not what I had in mind for my day-off outing.
